i did it again

i took my friends short bed frame he painted up and was not using . then to help motivate him to the running truck status i added a few things . i took his 40x17x15 ground hawgs and mounted them to some 15x10 white crawlers i scored off ebay for 240.00. then to fit them on the dana 60 front i had in my colection i ground the calipers a bit . this to help clear the 3.5" backspacing of the rims.

next i bolted on a steering box brace kit thanks to a fellow ck5er that had one i got from him . also i added a drop pitman arm from a local friend . then all of this with a slightly used but good and tight box i had.

then i added the full 4" front and rear spring lift i grabed at a local junk yard . with the front i also took and added a short section of rear overload leaf cut off the same length as a zero rate block. also added some ord hd shackles and full greaseable bushing kit for the springs .

the rear is a 3/4 ton 14ff to fit with no mods . so to help in stoping i added a disk brake kit . and with all of that to stop i threw in a hydro boost unit i had that matched the box.

then for the cool efect i got some rear 88-up dulley centers as thay are the deepest and some conversion lug nuts with plastic hold on nuts for a completly diffrent look on those aftermarket rims. real easy mod to perform .

well you ck5ers should have been there tonight when i droped it off to him to see the look he had on his face. then he didnt have much to say as he was just blown away .
